Increasing lift-off always reduces signal amplitude, although it has no effect<br />

on the depth of penetration or the phase of the eddy currents. For this reason,<br />

probes should be held so that the coil axis is normal to the test surface.<br />

However, despite the reduced sensitivity, it is common practice to apply a<br />

small piece of Teflon adhesive tape to the tips of small diameter probes to<br />

prevent probe wear.<br />

Discussion: Increasing lift-off always reduces signal amplitude, although it<br />

has no effect on the depth of penetration or the phase of the eddy currents.<br />
